Ingredients

Scale

With just three ingredients, this cocktail is all about simplicity and bold, fruity flavors. Use mango-flavored soju and a mango Melona bar for the best results.

Ice: Chills the drink and helps the Melona bar melt smoothly.
4 oz (120 mL) mango soju: Adds a fruity, mildly alcoholic base with a smooth, sweet mango flavor.
4 oz (120 mL) Sprite or 7-Up: Brings fizz and a light, lemon-lime sweetness.
1 mango Melona ice cream bar: Provides creamy, mango-flavored goodness that melts into the drink.
Substitutions and Variations:
- Soju Swap: Use plain soju, peach soju, or strawberry soju for different flavor profiles.
- Melona Flavors: Try strawberry, melon, or banana Melona bars for a fun twist.
- Soda Alternatives: Replace Sprite with club soda for less sweetness or tonic water for a slight bitterness.
- Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free mango sorbet bar if Melona bars (which contain milk) aren’t suitable.
- Flavor Boost: Add a squeeze of lime juice or a few fresh mango chunks for extra zing.

Why These Ingredients Matter: The mango soju delivers a fruity, boozy base, the Sprite adds refreshing fizz, and the mango Melona bar creates a creamy, candy-like texture that makes this cocktail unique and fun

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

Fill a medium-sized highball or Collins glass about halfway with ice.
Tip: Use larger ice cubes to slow melting and keep the drink chilled without diluting it too quickly.

Step 2: Add the Liquids

Pour 4 oz mango soju over the ice.
Add 4 oz Sprite or 7-Up to the glass.
Tip: Adjust the soju-to-Sprite ratio to taste—more soju for a stronger drink or more Sprite for a lighter, sweeter one.

Step 3: Add the Melona Bar

Unwrap 1 mango Melona ice cream bar and place it in the glass, using it as a stir stick.
Gently stir the drink with the Melona bar until it begins to melt, creating a creamy, mango-infused texture (about 1–2 minutes).
Tip: For faster melting, break the Melona bar into smaller pieces before stirring, or let it sit for a more gradual melt for aesthetic appeal.

Step 4: Serve

Serve immediately with the partially melted Melona bar as a garnish and stir stick.
Tip: Add a fun straw or a slice of fresh mango on the rim for a playful, party-ready presentation.
